And then sold it to you for $200 USD a month? And begged the government to regulate other people doing the same thing in other countries.

Fantastic take.

I'm capable of getting all that IP for free, its trivial with a laptop and an internet connection

I pay multiple LLM providers (not $200 a month) because the service they provide is worth the money for me, not because they provide me any IP. They're actually quite stingy with the IP they'll provide, which I agree is bullshit given that they didn't pay for much of it themselves.

    What do you think their service is, exactly. Every single word that comes out of these systems is stolen IP, do you think that just because they won't generate a picture of Mickey Mouse for you it's not providing any IP?
